Creation date is a guess based on looking at the page's HTML code and the timestamps in the directory paths.

There are several other Penicillin riffs floating around with the same name, including those with bases of oloroso sherry, agave (tequila/mezcal split), and American whiskey (bourbon and rye).

Not bad, but lacks depth--needs either a significantly peatier scotch as the base or a significantly beefier ginger syrup.

Crazy good drink. Honestly reminds me of a bourbon cocktail in the paper plane neighborhood. I think this comes out better with aperol, but it’s great either way.

1 sli Orange (dehydrated, as garnish)

I put it in a rocks glass over fresh ice based on what I saw though it's not too boozy and could probably go into a cocktail glass.

  • Agree that Peychaud's improves this... I'd actually bump it to a 4.5 with peychauds

I thought this was improved with the addition of some Peychaud's bitters.

Yankee Palms

1 oz Amaro, St. Agrestis
3⁄4 oz Dark rum
3⁄4 oz Light rum
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (Shagbark hickory)
Instructions

Shake all with ice, pour (no strain) into a tall glass, garnish with a maraschino cherry – yeah, go for the American classic bright red ones – and lime twist.

Notes

Shagbark hickory syrup is pretty darn easy to make and here's a recipe. https://www.thespruceeats.com/shagbark-hickory-syrup-made-from-bark-402…

It has smoky almond/cherry/woody vibes so maybe you could swap it for maple/orgeat/cherry liqueur mix with perhaps a few drops of heavily peated scotch for the smoky notes.
